Project Overview
Minnesota has a long and rich history with beer starting with the first brewery opened in Saint Paul in 1849. Today, beloved family brands like Schell’s produce beer alongside brash upstarts like Surly. This event explores the history of Minnesota’s beer scene, the innovators and home brewers that spurred a new generation of breweries, and the basics of beer brewing. It is sure to be a hoppin’ good time! Six presentations took place in the LARL region over a three-day period from November 13 to November 15, 2013, as a part of the statewide initiative, partnering with the Minnesota Historical Society. This project was partially funded with FY2013 Legacy funding of $3,139.59 (2013 LARL 25)
